this is to let you know that I am willing to serve as the ALAC Representative to the IFR. Because of time constraints, I wish to first register my willingness to serve, and then to send you a Statement of Interest later today.

In brief, my experience matches the requirements of IFR:

- As ALAC Representative to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG), https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/coordination-group-2014-06-17-en , I took an active part in the ICG’s deliberations, as well as in drafting its report and recommendations.

- While serving on the ICANN Board, I was involved in transitioning ICANN to the Affirmation of Commitments, served as a member of the Structural Improvements Committee which oversaw reviews, and chaired the Review of ccNSO.

Given my experience in ICANN (Board, ALAC, ICG, EURALO), I am confident that, if selected as ALAC Representative, I could also serve as IFR Co-Chair.

The official deadline is already past for us to appoint a representative to the IANA Naming Function Review (IFR), a review mandated under the Bylaws associated with the IANA Stewardship Transition, but I am told that if we act quickly, we can still fill our position.

So we need a quick decision on whether to call for volunteers for this.

I am not at all sure there is a particular user -oriented position here that is not already likely to be presented by others, but if there is a will to participate, we can.

PLEASE respond ASAP on whether you think that we should participate or not. If you believe you know of a good candidate, please let me know that privately.

Alan
